Sugar Bowl

On Tuesday night, January 4th, we invited some friends over for dinner and to watch the Sugar Bowl with us. Our Ohio State Buckeyes were playing against the Arkansas Razorbacks! Todd took the day off to bake and cook and get things ready for the party.

Our friends started arriving around 5:30pm. Time for some delicious Tuscan Style Potato Soup! This is my favorite soup that we make at home. It resembles the Zuppa Toscana from Olive Garden, but it's a much healthier recipe from Cooking Light.

Of course, what's a Sugar Bowl viewing without some sugar? Todd used his new Kitchen Aid stand mixer and made a Lemon Lime Layer Cake with cream cheese frosting. It was the most delicious cake!

If you didn't see the game, it was a last minute exciting finish. The Buckeyes won and finally beat a SEC team. It was very exciting and fun to combine good food, good friends, and a good football game! :)
